Bethanie Mattek-Sands has thanked well-wishers for their support after the horrific knee injury she suffered at Wimbledon on Thursday. "Many spectators had been visibly shaken by the events", says the Daily Telegraph. It's just about her being healthy; I know what she has been through with the injuries.

"I was anxious about, maybe, our safety, to be honest", Riske said.

"I think someone has to take the video and actually time and see how long it took for people to get there".

"Here, it took a while. Of course you wonder what happen if it was a heart issue or something like this".

"So, yeah, I hope is not as bad that it seemed, and she can have a quick, quick recovery".

Wimbledon officials suggested Cirstea may not have had an accurate sense of time while she helped comfort Mattek-Sands.

Mattek-Sands was tied with Cirsea, at one set apiece, as the game headed into the third set at the All England Club.
